The Geological Society of Africa (GSAf) was established in 1973 to encourage geoscientific collaboration and cooperation across the
continent.
Its main objectives are:
- to promote understanding of the earth sciences and improve standards of earth science education and research in
Africa;
- to provide a forum for discussion and dissemination of information across national boundaries between scientists, associations and institutions engaged in African geology and earth
resources;
- to promote the development and sustainable management of the continent's earth resources, to advance its socio-economic development; and
- to improve natural hazards assessment and disaster mitigation.
